Lugar interés cultural. Muy bien gestionado y muy económico. Para ver la reproducción entras con un guía.. El nuestro fue fantástico!!!!! Reserva antes... y ve con tiempo que entre ver las afueras, dnd esta la entrada real a la cueva y el museo lleva un rato.. en la reproducción de la cueva tiene hora marcada...

Un 10! La replica de la cueva es muy buena y tambien cuenta con museo y cafeteria. La entrada cuesta 3€. El sabado a partor de las 14h y domingo todo el dia la entrada es gratuita. El recorrido lo puedes hacer con autoguia descargandote la app. Ademas cuenta con un parque grandecito donde podras ver la entrada a la cueva real y dar un paseo

Fuimos con reserva , es necesario si quieres entrar a verlas ,por restricciones de un máximo al día . Recomiendo ir un domingo pronto , porque la entrada es gratuita . La visita a la neocueva la hicimos con visita guiada , recomiendo esta opción , porque el guía te va explicando todo y te hace transportarte a aquella época con datos, y curiosidades que por ti mismo no puedes saber . El guía que nos enseñó la cueva , era todo un profesional y nos enseñó todo lo necesario para entender el Contexto en el que se realizaron las pinturas . Lo único que me decepcionó , es que la verdadera cueva , ya no se puede visitar y lo que visitamos es una réplica . Luego puedes visitar por libre , la entrada antigua a la cueva y los alrededores .
